Record Collector magazine's started covering music zines again, they've got a whole page in the current issue

It's more brief content summaries/descriptions with a cover photo & weblink/email than reviews now but still good to see them back in the mag (thought they'd given up on zines completely&/or weren't getting sent any- they haven't had a zine column for ages and the last one was only a small side bar)

They used to do fun (& slightly tongue in cheek/snide towards the more really obsessed fannish stuff or offical fanclub things they didn't like) reviews but that was a long time ago now (longer than It seems eek)

Unless you already have an "in"- like someone to give you a boost that likes your zine-a lot of people who say they review zines don't.Its a way to get free zines.They mostly review thier friends zines.Zine reviews are a scam.

There is a bit of a stigma in the book publishing world against authors reviewing other books. It opens an author up to 'revenge reviews' and the like.

Does the same exist in the zine community? I wouldn't think so, but I'm a lot newer to this than many. Would it be a not-so-great thing to review zines on the blog where I also talk about the zines I've made?

The link in this post is connected to a new blog project and is no longer "The-Zineiac Review Blog." The blog is under construction and will be a career finders resource site. Please use the below information for any zine reviews, submissions, or library donations. Thanks!
